| Gonna need to be a little more specific. A 510 with 1,000 bales is getting long in the tooth. 530 with 10,000 is getting there. 567 with 20,000 is well used. Then you get into what it’s been through. 25 bales of stalks are going to be harder on it than 100 bales of alfalfa. Twine tie takes at least twice as many revolutions with a full bale in the chamber vs netwrap. If the 567 and up models were used with net wrap and didn’t get tweaked along the way 40,000 is achievable. But that is pretty much the end of breakdown free use. Metal is fatigued, rollers are thin along with the chamber. Buying used around 12,000 bales seems to be the sweet spot. Not too new to be expensive and not too abused to need a complete rebuild. | |
